Question THE FAMILY CAR

ok now i have no idea what B13 14 15 and all that other stuff mean
all i have seen on here so far are threads about performance and so on
so I'm not sure if the parts mentioned are good for me

i have a 2001 altima 4cly that rides like complete sh!t..........

so here goes the specific question(s) for you guys

How can i build myself a safe suspension for daily all weather driving

please keep in mind my wife has a LEAD foot and thinks she is in a
1/4 mile race to the end of every block or high way exit

Scares the crap out of me (might be bc of the bouncy roll and my head hitting the roof with every bump) but the kids seem to love it..... go figure!

anyway any and all help you can provide would be great

errr, just buy some decent aftermarket struts and call it a day. KYB or Tokico. expect to spend $200-400 on a set.

GR2s are direct OEM replacement. There is NO benefit for gettin these

Yeah, but it sounds like he has blown shocks in his car. If he wants a daily driver suspension that may be the ticket. Of course if he wants to go a better setup than stock, than you are definitely right.

wow so many reply's
Thank you all


ok yes i do have blown shocks and the guy i went to told me i also need a full tune up and springs to boot........ nothing is ever easy I'm just glad i didn't pay much for the car anyway..........

i do not mind going better then stock settings as long as it does not hurt ride quality i'm sure that anything will be better then i have right now esp seen as how i have no idea what a factory ride felt like

now after what a read yesterday on here it seem that the stb and sway bars
have both up's and down's so i'm still trying to figure out if i should get them or not but id i do i still need to figure out who makes the best set......

more or less how much should the agx set me back and should i also change the strut boot's as well?????

Thanks again for everything

AGXs are very good, it iwll set you back over 400 as i dont know how much they are for your car. They are adjustable and will be very good if you do other mods as they let you keep a fairly stock feel to a stiff race feel. They are adjustable, so its your choice.
